Common Sense, Understanding

To the Editor:

My attention was caught in reading the cynical butchery of the fundamentalist s by Mike Royko. It occurred to me by his own views how much of an odd couple they make. Both wallow in extremist views; much of which destroy godly and human rights. Both use the Constitution to twist their beliefs into rights they think will solve many problems. Ironically they'd destroy each other and many rights if each gets his way.

Both should read the report of the Federal Commission on Pornography and take it literally. As well, both should read the Bible, and not take it literally but under the power of the Holy Spirit - if either really knows what that means.

Kicking each other around will not solve the problems of pornographic pollution, abuse, abortion, war, etc. Each end of the spectrum inflames more hate and war. Common sense, prayer and understanding for one another will solve the serious situations people face.
